17 Mar The Struggle with Fear (2).
Fear can be devastating because it breeds more fear!
💥And the most insidious thing about fear is its ability to exaggerate.
🎯C. Everett Koop, former surgeon general of the United States, observed, ‘People just have an inappropriate sense of what is dangerous.’
🎯Do you fear flying? The fact is, you’re more likely to die from choking on a piece of food than in a commercial airline crash.
💥Are you worried about having surgery? You’re sixteen times more likely to die in a car crash than you are from surgical complications.
🎯Seldom do the things we fear come to pass.
🎯In our minds we conceive coming disasters that will likely never happen.
🎯And when they don’t occur, we think, ‘That was a close one!’
🎯The truth is—our thoughts were the only things creating potential danger for us.
🎯Fear is largely a phobic reaction. A phobia is an irrational fear of something that’s unlikely to cause harm.
🎯So how should we deal with your fears?
💥Trust in the Lord (commit yourself to Him, lean on Him, hope confidently in Him) forever; for the Lord God is an everlasting Rock
💥It’s been said that the words ‘fear not’ are recorded in Scripture 366 different times. If that’s so, God has given us a ‘fear not’ for every day of the year—and one for leap year!
